TIE women of Massachusetts,, ac-
cording to statistics gathered by Hon.
VIM. l. Bowditch twelve years ago,
paid at that time onc-tenth of all the
tax on property III the Commonwealth.
There are 342 towns in the State. In
1913 Of these towns the women paid
nearly two million dollars (S1 ,966 GOD.
In the cities OF Boston, Chelsea, New
ton and Brookline, women paid ST.
AS 40, being an average OF Sill, and
the equivalent OF 50 polls for each wo-
man. In Newton one woman paid
as much tax as ,424 men. In Mil
ford "a women were taxed on prop
erty, and ,5l3 men paid poll-tax
only. The women paid nearly three
times as much as the men. In some
towns the proportion of taxes ON wo-
men to poll-taxes on men was still
larger. But every man has vote,
and every women has none. Is this
Justice or fair play?

dorf, in Lower Austria, lives
Maria Haas, an intelligent and
industrious woman, whose story
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, is
of interest to English women.
81 was employed,' she says,
Gin the work of a large farm
house. Overwork brought on
sick headache, followed by a
deathly fiinting and sickness
of the stomach, until l was
unable to retain either food or
drink. l was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting q little better
from rest and quiet, l sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which in a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and throbbed in my every limb.
This was followed by a cough
and shortness of breath, until
finally / could not sew, and l
took to my bed for the second,
and, as l thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that l could not live longer
than when the trees put ON
their green once more. Then I
happened to get one of the Sci
gel pamphlets. l read it, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of SEIGEL's SYRUP,
Shaker Extract of Roots)
which l took exactly according
to directions, and l had not
taken the whole of it before I
felt a change for the better. My
last illness began June Sd,
1882, and continued to August
9Th, when l began to take the
Syrup. Very soon l could do a
little light work. The cough
left me, and / was no more
troubled in breathing. Now l
am perfectly cured; and oh,
how happy l am! I cannot
express gratitude enough for
SEIGEL's SYRUP Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots). Now 1 must
tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
We're thereby Influenced to de-
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are bor-
rowed to read, and l have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. People have come
eighteen miles to get me to buy
the medicine for them, know
ing that it cured me, and to be
sure to get the right kind. I
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. | told her of Seigel's
Syrup, end wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no mistake. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborhcod that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from govt who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is girl in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumatic pains,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. There was
not a doctor in the surrounding
district to whom her mother

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden Of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green 4ugust Flosoer and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton Of thirty six cents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-ffth more medicine
in the Is cent size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advant-
age Of increased size Of the bottles will
be greatly appreciated BY the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

How cold it is! King Boreas has
had little mercy with us while having
possession of the reins.
Owing to the severe billiards from
the northwest our roads are becoming
worse from time to time aud not unfre-
guently has the New Ulm road, during
the past month, been blockaded so as
to render it impossible.
Some of our farmers seem to be on
the right way when striving to make
improvements on their farms Among
these are Messrs. Jos. Domeier and
Thomas Forstner, who are making pre-
parations for erecting large barns the
coming spring.
Mr.. Hermann Hagemann has
rented the farm OF Mr.. Fred Frank To-
Gated IN the western part Of this town.
The farm heretofore occupied by Mr..
Hagemann has been rented by Mr..
John Hoffman, of New Ulm.
Quite runaway occurred on our
roads recently, in which three teams
belonging to certain farmers took part.
The teams, of course, left their drivers
behind as spectators Of the scene and to
make their way home on foot. Fortu-
nately it turned off without the least in
jury. May this be a warning to those per-
sons to be more careful the next time,
as this runaway was in fact due to their
own carelessness.
Some of our young folks had quite
social gathering recently. at the house
of Mr.. And. Portner. All speak OF
having enjoyed pleasant evening.
BY the way, preparations are
made, it seems as though q young cou-
pie Of this town was about to enter
upon matrimonial life. May our saying
not be preventure. Our boys are wait
ing for the event. "A "
